Summary: The TLBO algorithm, a popular global optimization approach, often suffers from premature convergence and entrapment in local optima for complex optimization problems. To address this issue, a novel TLBO variant called DFL-TLBO is proposed, which utilizes a distance-fitness learning strategy to enhance searchability. Experimental results demonstrate that DFL-TLBO successfully improves the exploitation and exploration capability of TLBO, making it the best performing algorithm for solving global optimization problems.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of face-to-face feedback and recorded video feedback in improving skill, motivation, and satisfaction. The results showed that recorded video feedback can be an alternative to face-to-face feedback, especially when teachers and students cannot meet at the same time.

Summary: Wearing a myoelectric prosthesis is a basic way for limb amputees to restore their lost limb functions. However, the lack of appropriate sensory feedback in current prostheses has led to a high refusal rate among amputees. This study designed a myoelectric arm prosthesis with wrist position feedback and demonstrated the importance of wrist position feedback for effective control of the prosthesis through experiments.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effect of self-controlled and yoked-group feedback on dynamic balance of children with Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy. The results showed a significant difference in dynamic balance between the self-controlled and yoked feedback groups after controlling for pretest, indicating that requested feedback in self-controlled conditions could be more beneficial for motor learning in children with cerebral palsy.

Summary: This paper proposes a method to learn latent feature representations from input sentences via a latent feature encoder and feed them back to an NMT encoder through a feedback mechanism, resulting in a more effective encoding mechanism. The proposed approach significantly outperforms the strong baseline in experiments.

Summary: This study focuses on mitigating unintended interferences between circuits and host cells and proposes a design scheme to control concentration through feedback modules. By adjusting promoter architectures and cooperativity, several switches were successfully synthesized, improving the product titers and host growth. Furthermore, the functions of a dysregulated multilayer NOR gate were restored through the integration of autorepression modules.

Summary: Pseudo-relevance feedback is a classical technique to improve search engine retrieval effectiveness. Past external expansion methods have only been studied for sparse retrieval methods, and the effectiveness for recent dense retrieval methods remains under-investigated. This study examines the application of dense external expansion to improve zero-shot retrieval effectiveness.

Summary: The combination of case-based learning and problem-based learning methods can effectively improve the academic performance and recruitment of medical students for neurosurgery. Students who received the combined teaching methods showed better self-perceived competence, satisfaction with the course, test scores, and clinical practice abilities compared to those who received traditional teaching methods.

Summary: Peer observation of teaching (POT) has been shown to be valuable for medical students in terms of receiving feedback and improving teaching practice. However, some observers lack confidence in their credibility and face challenges in giving feedback. Further training and collaboration with experienced staff could help address these concerns and enhance the effectiveness of POT in medical education.

Summary: This bibliometric analysis examines the scientific literature on automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems for teaching, learning, and assessment. The analysis covers 170 documents published between 2002 and 2021 in Social Sciences Citation Index journals, reviewing the productivity, citations, publication growth, geographical distribution, publication venues, and topic development. The findings indicate an increasing trend in all dimensions and suggest continued growth in the field. The study also highlights the positive impact of AWE tools on writing accuracy, quality, and plagiarism detection.
